Ecolex Animal Nutrition has appointed Loi Chia Fei as Regional One Health Solutions Director, effective June 2026.
This newly created role reflects Ecolex’s commitment to moving beyond product supply toward integrated, science-led partnerships that serve the health of animals, people, and the planet — the foundation of its One Health philosophy.
Dr Loi holds a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Universiti Putra Malaysia and brings over 15 years of experience in food animal health and nutrition, with his greatest depth in poultry nutrition and regional commercial leadership.
Beginning his career in food animal practice and product management — including working with leading principal companies across both Malaysia and Singapore — Dr Loi went on to build a distinguished track record in the poultry sector, progressing through technical veterinary and commercial roles at Cargill Feed & Nutrition and CJ Bio.
What sets him apart, however, is his exceptional ability to build and sustain commercial partnerships at scale: across successive regional roles at Eastman Chemical, Manuka Biotech, and CJ Bio, he has established distributor and partner networks spanning more than 18 countries — from Southeast Asia and South Asia to the Middle East and Northeast Asia.
It is precisely this combination — a veterinary scientist who has spent his career in poultry nutrition and animal health, paired with a proven ability to build and manage commercial partnerships at scale across Asia Pacific — that makes Dr Loi uniquely suited to lead Ecolex’s One Health Solutions agenda.
In his new role, he will work closely with producers, nutritionists, distributors, and industry partners to translate Ecolex’s science-backed portfolio into integrated solutions that address the interconnected challenges of animal performance, biosecurity, and sustainable production.
“The One Health approach is not a concept we simply endorse — it is the framework through which we believe animal agriculture must evolve. Dr Loi’s veterinary foundation, combined with his proven ability to build commercial impact across Asia Pacific, gives him a rare ability to translate One Health thinking into real outcomes for our customers and partners. I am genuinely excited to have him on board. Together, I believe we can move from advocacy to action at a scale that makes a meaningful difference for the industry,” said Edward Manchester, Global Business Development Director.
“I am excited to join Ecolex at such a pivotal moment. The One Health framework is not just a brand narrative — it is the most meaningful lens through which we can serve the animal nutrition industry. I look forward to working with our partners across the region to demonstrate how science-led nutrition can create real, measurable impact for animals, producers, and communities,” said Dr Loi.
